1. shows what the media fucking cares about. pelosi wants to talk about jobs and medicare

and they shut that right off. to be fair, she could have just done her press conference without even addressing the weiner thing at all. she did warn them first.

2. That says just about all you need to know about the corporate media's agenda regarding House Dems

They tune out any substance, and feed on pseudo sex scandal to the exclusion of all else.

Boy, that was naked exercise of power, if I've ever seen it.

This country is sunk. Abandon ship.

3. Wow, America's #1 problem right there on video for all to see.

Our media is less than worthless.

4. The MSM IS A FUCKING JOKE!

5. WHOA WHOA WHOA! Some of us want to hear about jobs, medicare, and the middle class!

You know, the important stuff.

8. Dumbing down of America on display

Airheads with nothing to say want their face time and refuse to cover substantive issues. Keep the low information voter uninformed; then they wonder why people don't
understand the issues. Let them get misinformation from FOX rather than the minority leader of the house. Media is for rumors, speculation, scandals. When Fox lies why are the media investigative reporters, looking for juicy scandals rather than exposing those lies that affect our lives. The media at its' destructive best.

6. This shows how Boner can say that the Dems have no Jobs Bill

Out of sight , out of mind

7. Tune to Channel 923, the Weiner Network. All Weiner, all day, all ways.

9. everything wrong with MSM in under 2 minutes, n/t

10. Did you hear that at the end?

Bill Hemmer:
"I hear when she's done with her statement, that this topic will come up. We'll see whether or not she gives in at that point...."

In other words, they couldn't give a shit about her speaking about jobs and Medicare. All that's important is that she gives them THE SHIT THEY WANT TO HEAR.

11. IMHO Pelosi could have played this better

Bill Clinton said "every time they attack you it gives you a chance to get your message out" and this was her chance to getting a little airtime for whatever message she wanted to give.

Example:
Q: How much damage has Anthony Weiner done by not resigning sooner?
A: Compared to those who are staying in Congress to block the jobs bills, defund Medicare and dismantle Social Security, almost none.
